# `nomad job scaling-events` command reference

The `job scaling-events` command is used display the recent scaling events for
a given job.

## Usage

```plaintext
nomad job scaling-events [options] <job>
```

The `job scaling-events` command requires a single argument, a submitted job's
ID, and will output the stored scaling events for the job if there are any.

When ACLs are enabled, this command requires a token with either the
`read-job` or `read-job-scaling` capability for the job's namespace. The
`list-jobs` capability is required to run the command with a job prefix
instead of the exact job ID.

## Options

- `-verbose`: Show full information.

## Examples

Display the scaling events for the job with ID "job1":

```shell-session
$ nomad job scaling-events job1
Task Group  Count   PrevCount  Date
group1      8       8          2020-10-23T09:06:47+02:00
group1      8       3          2020-10-23T09:02:42+02:00
```

Display the scaling events for the job with ID "job1" using the `verbose` flag:

```shell-session
$ nomad job scaling-events -verbose job1
Task Group  Count   PrevCount  Error  Message                        Eval ID                               Date
